after disk copy, partitions aren't larger

[DavidLozzi]

Howdy,

I used the disk copy utility to upgrade a 30gb to 80gb. Installed the Hard Disk Manager to the host OS and copied that OS to the new drive. I selected the option to increase the size of the partitions. The new drive works after the copy, however hard drive space is incorrect.

Hard Disk Manager reports that the primary partition total size is 69GB and 67GB is used. Windows Computer Management/Disk Manager is showing capacity of 32GB and 2GB free, which is what the old drive was. However looking at the lower half of the Disk Manager it shows the larger partitions, 69GB. Windows Explorer shows a total size of 32GB and 2GB free.

So, how do I get the partition to stretch out to the full size?
Thanks!

Try to perform small resize operation on new HDD. For example, shrink the new HDD partition for 500MB and apply changes, after it completes the operation increase the size for 300MB and again apply changes. Check the size now.
